read my advice thread and look at the wifiwars matches of me vs. yayuhzzchosen or overswarm can u explain why rob is better than wolf? I generally feel that they are =. I've played a lot of wolfs, and a good wolf player can give me a pretty rough time.
Seems like a (DUN DUN DUNNNN) separate thread per matchup might be in order.Chozen: you said we should move slowly through the list then you go and post a bunch of crap.
How about moving through the characters, even one at a time? We're in no hurry, best to get it thought through than rush through.
<--- WORST ROB EVERROB sucks GTFO
Give me a day or so and you'll be getting some new tournament vids, including me playing a Snake with a pretty awesome gimp.I forgot nades blow up on impact. Woo woo laser. Though basically you were agreeing with me aside from the camping part. Hard to approach, but once we get in and knock him into the air, ROB wins. Saddly, OS seems to be missing from the ROB boards for a bit as I haven't seen him post anything recently??
As for playing ROB. I'd definitely say an offensive match. Not necissarily an "In your face" kind of offence, but not defensive. Staying right out of range with lasers / brick walling FAirs/NAirs followed by DTilts. Patient offensive maybe? Honnestly, that's how all characters should be played though. Not defensively but not a full offensive either. Just watch vids of OS and Chozen if you wanna see what I mean. I'd say look at mine, but I don't have any up as I refuse to use a crappy digital camera to put up vids of my Sub-par ROB.
I am, more and more, believing that ROB has an extreme advantage in this matchup. My first matches agaisnt Snake made me believe it was equal... but I've figured him out, I think, and I still have more to learn. I just have more options.I found that you cannot get above a Snake, or most characters with R.O.B., but ESPECIALLY Snake and his nation-destroying u-tilt. R.O.B. has sort of a blind spot right below him because his d-air just has that really predictable pause, which is perfect for a super-high Snake kick.
Like everyone here has already been saying, Snake has the ground covered with his Snakedashes, grenade spam, and mines, but the air is his weaker point, so getting him off the stage and going for the gimp is the best thing to do.
If the Snake knows what the crap he's doin' though, this is gonna be a difficult match-up.
